Greenery Street. By Denis Mackail. (Heinemann. 7s. 6d. net.)—Mr. Mackail makes a charming addition to the fiction which describes in detail the first year of a happy marriage. It is obvious that the plot can only be concerned with those trivialities which loom so large in everyday life. Troubles with servants, financial- difficulties —aWthese provide the necessary antidote to the charm of the newly established intimacy of two congenial young people. We commend this book to the newly married as ,a truthful analysis of the stage of life through which they are passing. It will be-still more delightful reading to those who long ago established themselves for the usual brief period in the • Greenery Street of their day, which then, as now, was situated close to Paradise Square.
